Sly didn't keep his word with "The Expendables" by not giving way to a new generation of action heroes and now provides us with another of Taylor Sheridan's mouthful of pulp nihilism.

I'll admit, when I first heard about the Tulsa King my immediate thought was that it would be a weak cousin of the Sopranos, or some woke take on the world of the mafia.

But was I wrong. This show slowly but gradually grows on you right fromI'll admit, when I first heard about the Tulsa King my immediate thought was that it would be a weak cousin of the Sopranos, or some woke take on the world of the mafia.

But was I wrong. This show slowly but gradually grows on you right from the first episode, and as it continues it only gets better.

This role fits Sylvester Stallone like a glove, and Sly is really showing that he should've been doing TV series earlier in his career, because he for sure is carrying this show all by himself. There are other characters for sure that also interesting, but none carries himself like Stallone does. And Stallone is bringing his A+ game on every episode, even going to the point of proving he can be very emotional and believable while doing it.

The shows knows when to be serious, funny, dark, and hopeful. Even when Sly addresses the current problem of wokeness, he does so logically explaining exactly how the current Gen Z has no idea what the previous generations had to go through. His character doesn't insult in any way those that are woke, he just asks the very reasonable question of when will enough be enough.

I for one am loving Tulsa King, and I strongly recommend it to anyone that just wants to watch a great show, without any politics, wokeness, allowing the viewer to just relax and have a good time.… Expand

Genial y divertida. Sly está absolutamente fantástico. Sin duda, el salto a la televisión le ha venido perfecto.

Tropes, clichés, unbelievable plot? That must be a streaming cop/bad boy drama on a streaming platform. Plus, here the hook is a 98 year-old Sly acting like he's on WWE.
REJOICE PLEBS!

After serving 25 years in jail, his character's mob boss sends him to Oklahoma to start over. Naturally, this involves lots of Stallone playing his usual tough guy, shoving people around physically and mentally. There are splashes of violence, as the character works his way into the local scene, but nothing about the series stands out. Sheridan is known for creating interesting people and pithy dialogue, although there's some sprinkled about, there's not much of that here. This is mostly about a bully (with a few moments of tearful drama), so those who enjoy Stallone being Stallone will find plenty to enjoy. (Review based on 5 of 6 one-hour episodes)… Expand

Very entertaining show. Reminds me a little of Banshee which was also awesome. Great to see Stallone do something a little different but also lots of other cool cast involved.

The series has both funny and dramatic elements. The development of the plot is very interesting to watch. The film's star, Sly, gives an authentic performance. This movie is a breath of fresh air in the midst of all that comes out in our time.

It's like GTA on TV. The show is fairly enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously.

The show also features his real-life daughter, Scarlet, in a minor role, also her first tv appearance. The shortish nine episodes fly by pretty quickly as it's tough to try to watch this night to night, instead, you'll want to binge all at once. The pacing is good, the casting/acting/directing/writing and production values are all first class. Inside this first season his character, Dwight Manfredi, manages to get on the "we must kill him" sides of a rival crime gang in Tulsa and his former "family" in NYC. The season finale ends with a you-saw-it-coming betrayal which could return him to prison. A sophomore season has already been green-lit but will we have to wait a year or more to get another paltry 8+ eps?… Expand
